Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my box within a few months, and I was just
wondering:
As far as running games (such as halflife) under freebsd are concerned, does
it make sense to by a D3D-based card, such as nVidia's card, as D3D only
works under windows, right?

Or to rephrase the question, which one would provide the better 3D
experience? The geForce or the Voodoo3? I know that the latest version of X
supports both cards.

I'm looking at getting the stuff in time for 4.0 to be released.

Thanks.
